Volunteering at Durham Foodbank

onNovember 21, 2013

What a great time! I like to have as much fun as anyone (too much Mama used to say) but there is nothing more enriching than volunteering, making a difference, doing something that lasts a bit beyond our instant gratification world. This was with a great group at the Durham, NC Foodbank on a day where you could cook biscuts on a flatbed. It was a smoker! We sorted potatoes, canned goods and jars. We cleaned floors and rooms…and sweated. We loved every minute of it. Later that night, the steak was a bit juicer, the beer a bit colder, and the love of our fellow man a bit more real.
